Review summary

This was truly one of the better cruises we have done, main reason being that the capapcity of the ship was at 46%. That being said, this will not continue nor is it sustainable. But, this also proved that the smaller the passenger manifest, the better the service.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

We lgot to the port 45 minutes early and were able to get right on, not wait for our designated time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The food was above and beyond this time. Because of the smaller population on the ship, more time and attention was given to things.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

We took advantage of all we could - movies, pools, as well as group activities

Entertainment

5 out of 5

We loved the comedians this cruise!

Children's Programs

we have no kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The crew was absolutely thrilled and appreciative if every person on the cruise. Our wait staff was concerned about how we liked our meals or if we wanted something else. This has never happpened in the past 15 years of us cruising on Carnival.

Bimini, Bahamas

3 out of 5

It stormed the AM we were there and exursions were cancelled. The island only has one public beach - everything else is a private resorts. Not really port/tourist friendly.
